Super extra large, they have to be able to get over my head. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.
He is the victim of ignorance and faulty gear. AND as in the movie: "12 Angry Men," of an ignorant and callous jury.

I was refeeering to Chapter 9 of the SCM.
Do you know what the SCM is?
It is also free and on the internet.
Problem is every time I post a link to some real, verifiable, and free information some moderator deletes it.
Something about posting links is wrong. Hey don't blame me for the issues the mods create,...I'm just trying to help someone out who asked a question.
As far as Truffers Book, more than a few people makin some coin off it by copyining it and NOT sending the family the cash. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

You were probably banned.
the toddlers who are full of themselves, like to spue forth their own opinions as GOD.
Anyone who disagrees is labeled a Troll.
Do you remember those clicks that used to exist in elementary school?
Problem is that this is a revenue producing site, and the owner of this site thinks the "mods" are doing a good job. Problem is the Mods are wrecking this site with their hubris filled egomaniacal self aggrandizing censorship.
Of course these freakzones and Nazi types are always pointing out how it's "necessary" and they make the world a better place.
Of course from the advertisers perspective the decrease in sales from this site have not gone un-noticed. Apparently their bullshite is strong. someday, when it's too late, the perversions and control freak moderators will of course blame others for their own actions, there good at that, blaming others,..... they have basically lived their whole lives blaming others and seeking attention, and we all have seen what happens when people don't play their sick little internet game.
Too bad,....
the Mods took a great idea and fucked it up beyond all recognition.
So ya, you most likely were banned, and BTW, the sneakey little bastards like it that way. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

Thanks Ben,...
Yes that's just one of the more popular ones.
And some of you , AGAIN, might ask who is making a buck off of this. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

Your wasting your breath man. It's like the firearms laws V the public. The sky gods, the showoffs, the egotesticials, ( apologies to Kent Monk) and you all know exactly whom I'm speaking about. As long as these "personalities" break the rules and get away with it, as long as these swooping at a big way exaggerate their experience, as long as these "I'm better than you are" types populate the sky. These issues are going to continue. Many drop zones have found the cure. Which was to ask these types to go elsewhere. It works. It don't get much press but it works. You know exactly what I'm speaking about here,...and you know exactly what is required. Otherwise the message is clear: The free for all continues, these jerkoffs get away with it, and they get worse. Which is why you had 2 fatalities in such a short space of time. "They" don't give a fuck about anyone else's safety, because in their show off world their the only inhabitants. So the question is why do they continue to be allowed to set foot on a DZ? And most of these hubris filled asswipes have demonstrated their disregard to others time and time again,...

Same concerns that Danornan has. Someone who fails to understand the physics and momentums involved is going to try to flare as a landing. Minus the boxes this time. Here's a little thingy that so many fail to understand: As wing size increases,...well there called parachutes. You smart ones will figure that one out all by yourselves.

Once again,...
Unless you actually know the person your dealing with,....
USE a existing rigging / Skydiving store.
And escarool your purchases as well as having them inspected by FAA licensed people.
If the majority simply would agree, then we all would stop the thieves and scammers dead in their tracks. As well as supporting skydiving as a whole. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

The whole fatalities and incidents section needs to go.
It is a morbid place full of rumor and speculation and nothing good has ever come of it. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

Absolutely amazing, so spot on.
Since Feldman's tome, (what yo don't know what I'm speaking about?)
The USPA has in fact sent a clear message to the legal advice it PAID FOR AND THEM PROMPTLY IGNORED.
Of course what do I know, I've only got one tandem and am also the leader of the Trolls according to MoJo and a few other addicts.
Censorship from a few toddlers has literarily destroyed any value this site ever had, and all from a few egocentric self absorbed power hungry dolts that think they know better.
So spot on Ryoder, so spot on,....
Here's a message from the legal community,...you fckn dolts deserve what is coming.
It's also amazing that the biggest self professed "Troll Hunters" are the biggest addicts and most self absorbed crybabies on the planet. YOU ALL NEED TO WAKE UP AND LIKE MARIE ANTRONETTE, CUT OFF THEIR FUCKING HEADS. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

This subject is beat to death in many prior posts, IMO sometimes it pays to do a search.
USPA has in the Comp manual probably what yo need.
I also have heard that on the internet this book is "available."
Not that I'm promoting copying something that is still earning royalties BUT purchasing a Xerox, well what do we call THAT?
Anyways this is another area that the lack of leadership from the organization that is allegedly promoting skydiving has fallen short.
Instead of a standardized well publicized USPA book, we again have a hodgepodge of opinions and derision everywhere. ALL to the detriment of the foundation of skydiving and again perpetrated by the inactivity and laxity of the very organization purportedly claiming to support same.
Perhaps "they" are too busy gilding busts of themselves for display in their new museum.?????
And of course thay have only had the last 50 years to do better,...
Shameful IMO Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

Of course AND SOME ONE NEEDS TO POINT OUT:
Skydiving is NOT for everyone. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

Lot of that going on with that company lately. Same with the opening dates in the Western Provinces. Can someone say money issues? Actually they refuse to say. For anyone who has experienced them, it's their show. Of course their marketing materials indicate they are opening soon, opening soon, opening soon,...
but every now and then someone posts a picture of the empty lot or "Construction Progress." Generally as soon as someone posts a picture of construction, it mysteriously gets removed. Of course censorship here on this site is the norm.
On another note, if you haven't been in a windy tunnel perhaps I might re-think that desire to spend an half hour at one time. For many that might be a bit of a work out and as compared with learning you might be overtired to take full advantage of the time. IMO build up slowly.
(Dolf is spot on about that and worth repeating.)
But if your having fun then go for it.
If you go in a group with others a common action plan is that every one rotates for a few minutes each, that way you get a quick break to recover. You'll be in the tunnel for 30 or some set minutes, but the time you pay for will be the time your actually using it.
Have fun. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.

Can anyone confirm the rumor???
Those that know, that is?
For the rest of you, the waivers are being outlawed.
Something about implied consent can not be waived because the public doesn't have the knowledge and or full understanding to make "reasonable decisions."
Don't shoot the messenger. Brett Bickford Did Not Commit Suicide.
